Ignore sections of my document when fingerprinting?
Administrator Help | TRITON AP-DATA | Version 8.3.x
For file fingerprints, create a separate document with the text to ignore. For example, if you want to ignore material with your company's copyright statement or a standard disclaimer, copy that statement and paste it into a new document. Now create a classifier with the fingerprinting mode "Ignored Section".
1.
Select Main > Content Classifiers > File Fingerprinting.
2.
Click New, then choose the type of fingerprint to create: file system, SharePoint, or Domino.
3.
On the General tab of the wizard, select Ignored Section for the Fingerprinting Mode.
4.
On the Scanned Files or Scanned Documents page, click Edit.
5.
In the left pane of the selector, highlight the file you created.
6.
Click the right arrow to move the file into the Include list.
7.
Click OK.
8.
Continue through the wizard, and click Finish when done.
9.
Run the fingerprint scan.
Fingerprinting the copyright or disclaimer as an ignored section prevents it from triggering a policy when a non-confidential document is analyzed. If this fingerprinted data later appears in a transaction, the system detects it and knows to ignore this section. Ignored sections apply to all policies.
If you did not create an ignored section, and instead fingerprint a confidential document containing a disclaimer or copyright, then any time a document contained that disclaimer or copyright an incident would be triggered, creating many unintended matches.
